Also sorry to see the regular posters falling in such droves, but new ones are picking up the slack in keeping the thread alive.

Also sorry to see the regular posters falling in such droves, but new ones are picking up the slack in keeping the thread alive.  

It's tough to maintain interest in this thread once you're eliminated.  Carrying the load for Winz, QG and Iggy is going to be a challenge--24 hours without a post has to be a first since the contest went live.

 

[apalmer]

Generally, I'd say rostering 5 QBs is overkill, but This Guy and This Guy are awfully glad they did this week. Meanwhile, This Guy wishes he had.

 

[Raleigh Engineers]

My team is still alive and has only been close to the cut once (week 10, survived by 5 points).  The 50% cuts for the next two weeks are going to be brutal!  And the Rams/Chiefs bye this week make things even more interesting.  I have Mahomes and Gurley...

 

[a_troll00]

I survived the Monday Night Massacre by riding the wave of Goff and Hill to safety.  Consequently, they are also my only two players on bye this week.

Today, I have Matt Ryan, Trey Burton, Austin Hooper, Anthony Miller, and Michael Gallup on deck.  At the end of the day it will be known if my squad has a puncher's chance of moving on for one more week.  This week is going to require a big performances from Ryan and my TEs which also includes Doyle.

 

[Birdie048]

Now for a trivial question...what will the cut-line be after the 3 Turkey Day games?

I doubt it will be over 100 but some key players involved....and some out due to injury... Trubisky, Graham, Ker J

 

[Ty_Webb]

Is there anywhere to see the cut line for week 12 from previous seasons?

 

[Ty_Webb]

With Gurley out, that game by Blount could be a lifesaver for me. 

 

[jbird]

Play with the URL from week 11 results. Change week to 12 and move the year to past years.

 

[Ty_Webb]

Last 3 years cutline for week 12; 181,169,179.

Im going to guess under 150 this year

 

[(HULK)]

Cut line is currently Bears D lol

 

[Ty_Webb]

Nah, it will be at least 170.   We are down to 1000 good teams and scoring is up in the NFL. 

 

[Vegas123]

Scoring up because of QBs,No Goff, No Mahomes, No Trubisky No Smith No Garoppolo and most good teams have one or 2 of those

 

[Ty_Webb]

I’d assume that in years past there were good players on bye too. 

 

[Steeler]

I’d assume that in years past there were good players on bye too. 

KC and LAR are the 2nd and 3rd highest scoring teams in the NFL this year - somewhere around 150 wouldn't surprise me.

 

[Vegas123]

Did you watch monday night football? the players on bye moved the line by over 40 themselves and most advanced

 

[Ty_Webb]

The cut isn’t in gonna be in the 150s. Come on. Well if 60% of the people left have more than 2 of; goff, mahomes, Hill, gurley, Hunt, Kielce....maybe.

Mahomes 694

Goff 214

Gurley 209

Hunt 57

Hill 468

Kelce 142

1,784 More then 70 percent have 2

 

[Ty_Webb]

Damn.  Maybe a 150ish number is feasible then.

Ryan put in a decent performance while Hooper was adequate.  Three games into this week, the conclusion is... my squad has a fighting chance of moving on.  It's not dead... not yet anyways.

 

[Hairy Snowman]

1-2-3 Dead.  

 

[apalmer]

Nice of Brees to target non-contest guys for all of his TDs and hold down the Kamara/Ingram/Thomas/Watson scoring.

Whoever is still around, has outlasted about 95% of the field.  That's nothing to sneeze at, at all.

If you stay around another week, or get bounced, hold your head high regardless.

 

[QuizGuy66]

I'll try to post some woulda coulda shoulda stuff - traveling for the holiday

-QG

 

[Protocols of Stringer Bell]

I’m still alive.  Only guy I really wish I had the money back on is Robbie Anderson.  Chubb and Olsen are probably my best differentiators

 

[strawb]

Still alive, but with a healthy share of byes.  Feeling some hope knowing most of the field also has Mahomes on bye too, but I have to rely on some heavy Broncos offense tomorrow to sneak by.

Good luck guys/gals.  Here is where it gets real.

I'm super pumped to make it this far. I'm confident I'll make it one more week at least. With so many people with KC guys on bye, and all I have is Goff, i certainly hope I move on.

If there's one thing I've learned, it's "Don't taunt the Turk". It was a good run.

 

[Zegras11]

Mahomes and Butker only bye players this week.

Mayfield is my only QB 

Currently 84th.   Thank you Njoku, Pettis, Breida.    Have Thielen and Juju later.

 

[matuski]

Dalton wait....

 

[BassNBrew]

Probably a good idea to have cmc this week

Entry 100226 Rank: 9 (Score: 190) yes it is

 

[Ty_Webb]

Last 3 years cutline for week 12; 181,169,179.

Cut is already over 120 with 5 games left.  We are gonna hit the high 160s if not 170 this week.

 

[BillyJoeBob]

Cut line over 120 already - higher than I thought it would be this time of day with the LAR and KCC off.  Good luck everyone!!!

 

[apalmer]

[(HULK)]

171 with lots still left, should be safe.

Fornette being a knucklehead might be my downfall next week if he does get suspended... With Fuller and OJ Howard on IR, I can't afford to be down a man anymore.

 

[chet]

Looks like I will advance.  184ish in ~50th.  Virgin territory for me.

 

[matuski]

Of all the people coming through for me right now.. Tannehill.

You are right I was way off

 

[Zegras11]

Two games left.   Cut line at 154.85

181.4 with Thielen - 10.3 and Succop -3.0 . rank 180

 

[a_troll00]

Huge performances from McCaffrey, Smith-Schuster and Sanders have propelled me to 192.55.  It looks like my guys are hanging on for another week! 

 

[(HULK)]

186.1 with Succop and Fairbairn -5.1 left.

Assume I'm good, but tonight's game may move the line a bunch. Monday's probably won't.

 

[Ted Lange as your Bartender]

183.75 - doesn’t look like a ton of highly owned guys the next two nights so I think I should be good.

3rd time making it to the top 500, looking for my first breakthrough to the final

 

[ponchsox]

191 with Jones and Diggs tonight. This will be the furthest I’ve ever made it.

 

[Raleigh Engineers]

170.25 with Nuk-3.5.  Hopefully that will be enough. 

Rivers, Barkley, and McCaffrey were my key performers this afternoon.

 

[eagles57]

184.85, just have the Vikings d left. I will be hoping for 2 low scoring games to advance.
